RD16 Knife Heat Treatment Kiln

Compact Heat Treatment Kiln for Knives, Cutting Tools and Steel Parts

RD16 Compact Design, Controlled Knife Heat Treatment

The RD16 Knife Heat Treatment Kiln is a compact high-temperature solution developed for hardening, annealing and tempering knives, cutting tools and steel parts. It can be safely preferred by knife makers, blacksmiths, workshops and craftsmen producing custom pieces.

With 1200°C and 1320°C maximum temperature options, it provides stable and repeatable heat treatment performance for the production processes of hunting knives, kitchen knives, camping knives and various cutting equipment.

Kanthal A1 Resistance System

Powerful Insulation for Knife Heat Treatment

The high-density alumina bricks resistant up to 1430°C used inside the RD16 help keep heat evenly balanced inside the kiln during the heat treatment process. Its strong insulation structure improves energy efficiency, while its fiber-free design provides a safer working environment for workshops and custom production areas.

RD16 Knife Heat Treatment Kiln Technical Structure

RD16 combines compact dimensions with professional control systems to deliver reliable performance in the heat treatment of knives and steel parts. With controlled temperature management, it is developed for processes where steel must reach the desired hardness and durability values.

Digital Program Control

With the RF860 programmer, temperature increase, holding time and heat treatment steps are managed in a controlled way.

Precise Temperature Measurement

The thermocouple system monitors the internal kiln temperature and helps achieve repeatable results in hardening, annealing and tempering processes.

Alumina Brick Insulation

The brick structure resistant up to 1430°C keeps heat balanced in a small chamber and provides a reliable heat treatment environment.

Kanthal A1 Resistance

Supports balanced results on knives, cutting tools and steel parts by providing homogeneous heat distribution.
